Omiya: The Session, and the Working Girls

On the session itself and Omiya's working girls, broken down by Elon, who's spent 20-plus years in fuzoku.

Omiya: The Session, and the Working Girls

"Omiya, the session, working girls" — some people hear that and know exactly what it means, and some don't.

I'm 42 and still out there working the field, so I'll lay it out from a real-world point of view.

Why this topic matters

A surprising amount of fuzoku information is poorly organized. Beginners especially tend to land in a spot where they don't even know where to start looking.

ElonTwenty years walking this world taught me one thing: a "skilled girl" and a "good girl" aren't the same thing. A girl with average technique who's fun to talk to beats a technically gifted one with dead-on-arrival conversation by a mile.

What that means in concrete terms

In a word: knowing versus not knowing changes the quality of the experience.

ElonI once got to hear the girls' real feelings straight from an acquaintance who'd worked as a cast member. "The customers we appreciate most are the ones who look like they're genuinely enjoying themselves." "Haggling over the price is the worst." Obvious stuff, sure, but it hits different once it's put into words.

What I've written here is the essence of the knowledge I've built up over 20 years.

In closing

Elon42, single, living alone. When nearly your whole paycheck disappears into fuzoku, you naturally develop an eye for it. That's not a brag and it's not regret — I'm just putting it down as a plain fact.
